Abstract: A method for fabricating a semiconductor device includes the steps of first providing a substrate having a high-voltage (HV) region and a medium-voltage (MV) region, forming a first trench on the HV region, forming a second trench adjacent to the first trench and extending the first trench to form a third trench, forming a first shallow trench isolation (STI) in the second trench and a second STI in the third trench, and then forming a first gate structure between the first STI and the second STI. Preferably, a bottom surface of the second STI is lower than a bottom surface of the first STI.

Abstract: A manufacturing method of an epitaxial fin-shaped structure includes the following steps. A substrate is provided. A recess is formed in the substrate. An epitaxial layer is formed on the substrate. The epitaxial layer is partly formed in the recess and partly formed outside the recess. The epitaxial layer has a dent formed on the top surface of the epitaxial layer, and the dent is formed corresponding to the recess in a thickness direction of the substrate. A nitride layer is conformally formed on the epitaxial layer. An oxide layer is formed on the nitride layer. A first planarization process is performed to remove a part of the oxide layer, and the first planarization process is stopped on the nitride layer. The epitaxial layer in the recess is patterned for forming at least one epitaxial fin-shaped structure.
